Hello,
I cannot find any prebuilt driver in our Instrument Driver Network for your instrument, so you may have to create one for the power supply. If you know the command set of your instrument, you can try to use the Instrument I/O Assistant to send the commands or you can try to use the VISA API to program a series of commands to set the needed parameters.  Let me know if you have any questions!
